Temerari.
Estiu 1990. Cala de l’Illa Roja. El meu germà gran no deixava d’insistir als meus pares: volia saltar de cap des d’una de les roques. I la meva mare, asseguda a pet d’ones a la seva inseparable cadira de càmping, li deia que no, que podia saltar a l’aigua des de moltes roques, però no des de la que ell volia, de cap manera, que era massa alta i en aquell racó hi havia poca aigua. Era perillós. En aquella època no s’havia rodat "Mar adentro", però era fàcil imaginar què podia passar-li si es tirava de cap.
Va semblar que el meu germà acceptava la prohibició i va dir que anava a buscar pedres de colors. I el vam creure. I el vam perdre de vista. Fins que deu minuts més tard...

Reckless.
Summer 1990. Cala de l’Illa Roja. My older brother kept insisting on my parents: I wanted to jump headfirst from one of the rocks. And my mother, sitting motionless in her inseparable camping chair, told him no, that she could jump into the water from many rocks, but not from the one he wanted, in any way, that it was too high and there was little water in that corner. It was dangerous. "Mar adentro" hadn't been shot at the time, but it was easy to imagine what could happen to him if he threw himself.
It seemed like my brother accepted the ban and said he was going to look for colored stones. And we believed him. And we lost sight of him. Until ten minutes later ...
